T&T: Rigid dink vs Hard bottom Caribe

[JSpence47@aol.com]

I currently have a 9' 6"  Caribe hard bottom dink with a 15 hp Yamaha.  I am 
considering buying the 10' dink from Rigid Boats. Does anyone on the list  
have direct experience with the Rigid boat? Is it really lighter than my Caribe?  
I don't know how long Rigid has been around but what about longevity of the 
boat  will it last as long or longer than a Caribe style dink? How about 
handling in  waves etc? How about strength of the boat is it a hardy boat or 
somewhat  delicate? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
